How Jaap de Boer started their logo design journey

Company name

Beloninggroep.nl

Overview

Beloninggroep.nl is a portal for 3 new Dutch marketplace websites.

Tell us a bit about who you are and the people you reach

All kinds of people from 18 until 80.

Requirements

We are looking for a simple recognizable logo for the portal (Beloningsgroep.nl) and 3 logos for the marketplaces in the same style. The logos will appear primarily on the website, and also on our office signage, business cards and posters.

The 3 marketplace websites are “Verkoopbeloning.nl” (houses for sale), “Verhuurbeloning.nl” (houses for rent) and “Vacaturebeloning.nl” (finding new employee).

Special about the sites is that every visitor that’s wants to sell something or searches new employees needs to set a reward (in Dutch: beloning) for the visitor that’s helps selling the house or finding an employee.

Tips:
- keep it simple, we like logos as 2bits.com, youtube, shoutwire but also really love #37 #36 #7 #24 from this contest: http://99designs.com/contests/25230
- The icons on all 4 logos may be the same, but if you can create a different icon for each marketplace website and together they make the icon for the portal site would also be really nice. Like 3 puzzle pieces that together makes the portal logo.
- background for the portal (Beloninggroep.nl) will be white. For the marketplaces we will use the background in this example http://www.verkoopbeloning.nl/verko…xample.jpg

Update: please read the comments for more information.

Update2: you don't have to use the (background)colors we gave (anymore). If you like to use other (background)colors, you're free to do.
